REGIONS VILOATE ALL THIS REGULATIONS .Restricted Dual-Tracking: Dual-tracking – when the servicer moves forward with foreclosure while simultaneously working with the borrower to avoid foreclosure – is restricted. The practice has hurt many consumers who thought they were working out a resolution with their banks and were shocked to learn of a scheduled foreclosure sale. Under the new rules:• Servicers must not start a foreclosure proceeding if an application is pending for a loan modification or other alternative to foreclosure.Early Notice When in Trouble: Servicers must include information about delinquency in a borrower’s monthly statement after the borrower misses two consecutive payments. This information must include the date the borrower became delinquent, the amount required to bring the loan current, and the risks of failing to do so.Notification of Foreclosure Alternatives: Servicers must reach out to borrowers who have missed two consecutive payments. Specifically:• Servicers must provide in the written notice examples of “loss mitigation” options, which may be available to avoid foreclosure. These options could include changing the interest rate, extending the terms of the loan, deferring or forgiving principal, or coming up with some other alternative payment plan.• Servicers must include information about housing counseling in the written notice.

Issue: Closing an account
Subissue: Can't close your account
Consumer Complaint: I work for XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX. They have missed the last FOUR pay roll dates with the TN branch. As a result, I went to Regions bank to close my account today to avoid nsf fees from auto drafts. They told me that they can't close my account because it needs to be inactive for 30 days FOR THE CREDITORS ( not the consumer! ) She said, " if I close your account and someone ACH debits an auto draft from your closed account, it will force the account back open and you will still owe the bill plus the NSF fees on the closed account. Meaning, it won't really stay closed. '' That is complete XXXX XXXX. Now, I am going to cave and maybe file another bankruptcy if the ceiling falls in on me for the NSF fees from all my bounced debits in an account regions refuses to close bc they favor the creditors not the consumer. Please help CFPB to change banking laws/rules such as this one!!!! I don't know why XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX can not make pay roll on time ; but, Regions shouldn't allow me to be financially devastated any further due to XXXX 's short falls. This isn't right. It's bad enough I'm eating sandwiches and 2 weeks away from eviction ; now my own bank is against me, too. This is overwhelming

Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card
Consumer Complaint: My debit card was declined today XX/XX/19 for a {$5.00} purchase. I tried running this transaction with my pin number as a debt and also as a credit, both were declined. The problem was not with funds so I called the customer care number to try to figure out why this happened. When speaking to the representative her first response to why this may have happened was that she saw a flagged transaction on the prior Sunday XX/XX/19, but she was going to investigate more. She put me on hold to do so and when returning her answer was that she was unsure why my account was locked but that she had unlocked it. I appreciated her unlocking it, but it did not alleviate my concerns : 1. If a transaction was flagged on my account why was I not notified? She said that the particular transaction was ran and declined and then ran again with my pin which is untrue for it is a restaurant I frequent and they have never required a pin for a transaction. 2. If my account was flagged for suspect of fraud on XX/XX/19, why could I make transactions up until XX/XX/19 with and without using my pin? I love knowing that there are processes put in place in case an account is compromised, but with a delay like that there could have been massive damage occurred to my account. 3. How can this be prevented in the future? I would like to know that I have access to my funds and if something would happen I would like to know that I would be notified right away.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: I had several Regions Bank accounts that were discharged through bankruptcy in XX/XX/2917. These accounts ate all closed and no activity since XX/XX/2017 however the company continues to report the account as open and delinquent. They also continue to update the status which makes it seem as if the debts are recent when last activity date should be XX/XX/2017. Ive disputed several times with all bureaus and they keep responding to the dispute with incorrect information.

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Consumer Complaint: There is an inquiry from Regions Bank on my credit report from XX/XX/2018. I never applied for any type of credit with this company EVER. I've sent them a certified letter asking them to have the inquiry removed from the credit bureaus but they've refused to do so. They have no validation showing that I applied for credit. This is negatively impacting my credit worthiness and I want the inquiry removed from the credit bureaus IMMEDIATELY. Thank you.

Subissue: Fee problem
Consumer Complaint: Regions Bank is charging me for pending transactions. As of Tuesday ( XX/XX/19 ) morning, I started the day with {$4.00}??. After using the card throughout the day I needed to deposit {$32.00}??. I deposited {$20.00} before XXXX and then at approximately XXXX I deposited {$13.00}. Now, Wednesday XXXX XX/XX/19 XXXX, my account is overdrawn by {$71.00}?? because of {$72.00} in Overdraft Fees for all of Tuesdays pending transactions. I have contacted them regarding this and they refuse to refund the {$72.00}. I spoke with three people, including a supervisor. I was told that Regions charges for pending transactions. How can a bank charge for pending transactions. A person can not even dispute a pending transaction until it finalizes. What if the merchant were to credit the consumer? Regions is stealing money!!! I have all of my text alerts, printouts and ATM receipts to prove everything regarding the account activity. This is going to cause more overdraft fees when the transactions actually finalize.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Subissue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX : I was notified by my credit monitoring that Regionsbank had pulled a hard credit inquiry using my name and social security. I have NO relation with XXXX and have NOT applied fir credit. XX/XX/XXXX : I called Regionsbank. I was told that no charges had been made and that they would close the fraudulent account immediately. I was told to complete their Uniform Affidavit for Identity Theft and email to XXXX, which I did the same day. XX/XX/XXXX : I received a credit report update showing that Regionsbank had nonetheless opened a credit card account using my personal information. The account was still active with a balance of {$12000.00}. I immediately called Regionsbank again. I was told that they did receive my affidavit on XX/XX/XXXX and that they were investigating. XX/XX/XXXX : I filed a Identity Theft Report with the FTC, report # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX : I sent a follow up letter by certified mail to Regionsbank requesting written confirmation that I am not responsible for these fraudulent charges. XX/XX/XXXX : Regionsbank received the letter per the return receipt. To this date XX/XX/XXXX, I have received NO response whatsoever from Regionsbank. After I submitted a copy of the FTC report to the credit bureaus, they did remove this fraudulent account from my reports. However, they are still showing the hard credit pull by Regionsbank. .

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized
Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2019 my checking account was charged fraudulently for two transactions one for XXXX in the amount of {$200.00} and XXXX for {$91.00}. None of these two transactions were authorized by me. I filed a dispute and the {$91.00} was already approved and returned to me however the one for {$200.00} has not, my bank which is Regions denied my dispute because according to them I authorized it. I have filed a police report already aswell. But I think it is really unfair that they did not approve my claim. I am going to provide the police report for the claim that has not yet been approved. Hopefully that helps. They also try to add my debit card information to a XXXX XXXX account. I don't even have an XXXX phone.

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card
Consumer Complaint: I have a student account with Regions Bank. I had visited the XXXX, FL area the first week of XX/XX/XXXX for a music festival. Somehow my debit card and pin number were stolen. I did not realize my debit card was gone until after returning to my home in XXXX, TN. There was very little money in my account as I was not working at the time as I was focusing on my high school graduation. Regions contacted me to collect on an overdrawn student checking account. Regions had accepted a counterfeit check, with a forged signature to be deposited and funds withdrawn between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I do not know how my pin number was compromised or my card was stolen but I do know that I did not provide it to anyone. Regions did allow this counterfeit check with a forged signature to be deposited into my student account in the amount of {$4700.00}. Regions did provide a copy of the deposited check and it is not my signature. My account has never had this amount of money in this account. I do not understand why they would have accepted this counterfeit check, with or without a pin number. On XX/XX/XXXX Regions Bank said I allowed my pin number to be used which I did not know anything about. I knew nothing about these transaction taking place in XXXX, FL while residing in TN. The notification from Regions told me to go to the local branch for assistance but they indicated they could do nothing and suggested filing a police report which I did with the XXXX, TN police department to have the case reopened. I filed my police report and sent an appeal to the finding. the appeal was faxed on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. I have not received any notification regarding the appeal. Regions did takes funds from my grandparents ' account and my uncle 's account as my grandmother had to supply her social security on my account because I was a minor when it was established. They took over {$2200.00} form my grandparents account and over {$300.00} from my uncle 's account and they found out when attempting to use their accounts. I really need some help. Regions continues to call and attempt to collect over {$2000.00} dollars for a counterfeit check that should have never been allowed in my account. I start college in a couple of weeks and have no such funds available. My grandparents had to go borrow money. I really feel Regions should have caught this activity based on the fact this is a student account that has never seen this type of activity. While I understand the pin number was used, I did not know it was stolen and had no knowledge of this activity. If I had {$5000.00} in the bank and it had been withdrawn using the pin number, I would feel it may be my fault. When Regions allows a counterfeit check to be deposited, I feel they are responsible for that.
